Chapter 694: Untouchable
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Unbeknownst to them, it was evident that for Gong Xin, acting less haughty would be a failure, an impossibility. Gong Xin savored her corn porridge and pickled vegetables, cradling the assorted snack box that Gu Zi had given her on her lap. She examined it over and over, appreciating the woman’s thoughtfulness. Gu Zi knew that Gong Xin disliked fuss, so she had prepared cold snacks for her convenience.
It was indeed convenient. She could store them in the refrigerator and grab a piece whenever she felt like it. The thought brought a smile to Gong Xin’s heart, but she maintained a serious expression on her face.
“I admit your snacks look very appealing,” she said, “but I didn’t come here just for this snack box. I came because I noticed you don’t have many friends here, and I wanted to bring some moving-in atmosphere. But speaking of which, don’t you have any braised meat here?”
As she spoke, Gong Xin’s gaze drifted towards the refrigerator in the distance. She wished she had x-ray vision to see what was inside!
Gu Zi took a small sip of her corn porridge and nibbled on some pickled vegetables. She chewed slowly, creating a picturesque scene. She saw through Gong Xin’s intentions but chose not to expose them. “I’ve been busy these past few days and haven’t made any. The ones I brought from home are all gone. If you want some, you’ll have to go to town.”
“But you’ll have to time it right,” she added. “Next Saturday, my sister-in-law and others are attending Lin Hun and Gui Hua’s wedding. As Gui Hua’s good friend, my sister-in-law will be in charge of the braised and cold dishes for the banquet. The shop will be closed that day, so don’t make a wasted trip.”
Gong Xin raised an eyebrow. She wouldn’t have time until next Saturday, and she didn’t want to wait another day for braised meat. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she turned to Gu Zi.
“If there’s going to be braised meat at the wedding, why don’t I just go to the wedding? I’ve met Gui Hua before, so we’re acquainted. Let’s settle it then. I’ll come find you early that day, and you can take me with you!”
Gu Zi put down her spoon and looked at Gong Xin, thinking it would be fun to tease her. She pretended to refuse, “Is it really necessary? Besides, it’s not customary to bring extra people to a wedding. It’s not appropriate. It doesn’t match your status, Miss Gong.”
